• the cured material is generally suitable to be used as a sealant.
• sealants contain different components depending on the field of use and on the requirements imposed on them, at application and after curing.
• Plasticizers are one of the commonly used additives in adhesives and sealants formulations. They improve the performance by creating much-needed flexibility, optimizing viscosity and also improving mechanical performance.
• plasticizers used in sealants are phthalates, based on esters of phthalic acid. Phthalate-containing plasticizers are considered to be a health hazard and, on the basis of official regulations, are being scrutinized and might be banned in the future from increasing numbers of products.
• Sealants for exterior construction applications are often overpainted by various types of paints.
• the migration of free components in the sealant, such as plasticizers, can lead to paint defects, so-called bleeding. Bleeding causes the paint surface to become discolored, gummy, or even tacky. Over time, the surface can also attract dirt which becomes imbibed in the top layer. Thus, the appearance of the paint surface and its performance as finishing layer is negatively impacted.

• polyoxypropylene diol Polyol Acclaim ® 12200 from Covestro, molecular weight 10'000 g/mol, OH number 11.2 mg KOH/g), 155 g isophorone diisocyanate (Vestanat ® IPDI from Evonik Industries), 414 g diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and 0.42 g dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTL) were heated to 90°C with constant stirring and left at this temperature to give a polyurethan prepolymer terminated by isocyanate groups with the titrimetrically determined content of free isocyanate groups of 0.8 wt.-%.
• DIDP diisodecyl phthalate
• DBTL dibutyltin dilaurate
• the viscosity measurements on the reactive plasticizers were performed after storage in airtight vial during 1 day at RT (23°C, initial), after 7day at 60°C storage and after 24 days at 40°C storage. The measurements were done on a thermostatic viscometer TV-35 (Toki Sangyo, Japan) at 23°C (rotor 3°XR14, sample 0.4 ml, rotor speed 10 rpm, gap position 0.6).
• the cut-off string was determined at 23°C and 50% relative humidity.
• a Teflon test cylinder (diameter 20mm) was penetrated at a depth of 5mm into the sealant sample of thickness 10 mm at a speed of 25cm/4s. After a short time, the test cylinder was removed and a sealant string is generated by the cylinder. The length of this string is defined as cut-off string. Generally, a shorter cut-off string is preferred, due to better applicability.
• the Shore A hardness was determined according to DIN 53505 on samples with a layer thickness of 6 mm, cured for 7 days at 23°C and on samples cured for 28 days at 23°C.
• the tear propagation resistance was determined according to DIN 53515, on films with a layer thickness of 2 mm, cured for 7 days at 23°C and then for 7 days at 50°C.
• the tensile strength, the elongation at break, and the modulus of elasticity at 0.5-100% elongation were determined according to DIN 53504 (tensile speed: 200 mm/min) on films with a layer thickness of 2 mm, cured for 7 days at 23°C then for 7 days at 50°C.
• the overpaintability was tested with a piece of cured sealant (20 mm x 50 mm x 10 mm) upon which paint is applied on the sealant surface directly.
• the sealant was cured at 23°C for 7 days before application of paint.
• the applied paint was then left to dry for 14 days.
• the test sample was subjected to aging at 50°C for 14 days before evaluation of the overpaintability in terms of dirt pick-up and delamination.
• the delamination property was investigated by a cross-cut procedure according to ASTM D3359 (Method A, X-cut and cellophane tape) performed on an overpainted surface of the test specimen above. This was done by cutting an X-shape cut on the surface of the paint. Afterwards the pressure sensitive tape (from Nichiban, peel strength 3.93 N/10mm, tape width 24mm) was pressed with force onto the cut area. Within 5 minutes of applying the tape it was removed by grasping the free end and pulling it off fast at an angle of about 45-60°. The adhesion of the paint to the sealant bead was evaluated as below:
